Iridescent Branding Tonal Sneakers

adidas Spotlights its Three Stripes Branding with New 4DFWD

— August 27, 2021 — Fashion
adidas introduces its latest design iterations of the 4DFWD sneaker model with the options of either Core Black with Carbon and Cloud White or Cloud White with Core Black and Crystal White. The two colorway designs are very minimal as the first of the two is made up of black Primeknit+ materials across the upper.

It sits on top of a black 4D midsole foundation that is fused with the FED Cell technology for a sleek look and feel throughout. The running shoe is most notable at the branding detail but the sidewalls of the shoe. There, wearers can find the 3M material that makes up the Three Stripes for a reflective and iridescent look in the light.
